Chapter 28: Childish! [Second update]
Is there passion!!! Is there ***!!! Lao Gu doesn’t explode, doesn’t ***, every time he ***s, he will definitely explode!!! Is there!!!
…
Amidst the admiration, Ye Chen suddenly walked out, seeming a little abrupt and conspicuous. All eyes in the audience were instantly focused on him. Curiosity was in their eyes, and they whispered to each other.
"Is this the outsider?"
“It looks really short.”
"What is he going to do?"
Amid the discussions around them, the young man also looked over, glanced at Ye Chen curiously, then raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I heard that there is an outsider coming to our island. You look a little interested. Do you want to come and play?" As he said that, he pointed to the golden stone.
He felt a little uncomfortable because he did not see any wonder and admiration in Ye Chen's eyes, so he thought that Ye Chen did not know that although the stone was not large in size, it was extremely heavy. He immediately put on a relaxed smile and wanted Ye Chen to try the stone himself.
As the young man finished speaking, the people around him turned to look at Ye Chen, laughing and making a noise.
"My friend from outside, this stone is not an ordinary stone."
"Haha, go and try it too, and see for yourself."
"come on!"
Many people applauded Ye Chen to express their welcome.
Ye Chen looked normal as he glanced at the young man indifferently. Then, under everyone's attention, he walked over and came directly in front of the young man. He took a close look at the golden stone. Then he spread his legs, lowered his waist, and concentrated his energy into his dantian.
"The handles are here!" The young man saw Ye Chen's actions, and a hint of contempt appeared on his lips. He pointed at the two protruding handles and said, "Do you want to push the stone from the side?"
Ye Chen ignored him and stretched out his hand, pushing on the golden stone. It felt cold to the touch, and as he exerted strength in his arm, veins and muscles like a dragon were exposed. In the eyes of everyone, the heavy, thick golden stone slowly tilted, with the bottom leaving the ground and rising inch by inch!
Everyone in the audience, who were originally laughing and talking, suddenly fell silent!
Everyone's neck seemed to be strangled, their mouths opened wide, staring at the slowly tilting golden stone in amazement...
The young man standing nearby, who originally had a superior smile on his face, suddenly froze his smile, and then looked at Ye Chen in disbelief. He couldn't imagine that such a small body could burst out with such terrible power, and looking at the height of the bottom of the stone from the ground, it was actually higher than him!
Even the girl standing next to him covered her red lips with her hands, her face full of shock.
At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly turned his palm and moved it to the bottom of the golden stone. With his other hand, he grabbed one of the handles and slowly stood up. The heavy golden stone was slowly lifted up inch by inch in Ye Chen's hands!
Until the last corner of the stone left the ground...
The whole place was so quiet that it felt suffocating.
Moving and lifting are two completely different concepts, and the strength required is completely different. However, the figure who was only as tall as their waist lifted the entire stone!
His strength is as great as that of a mountain and his courage is as unmatched as that of the world!
Like a god of war, standing in the center of the venue!
Everyone dropped their jaws, looking at the golden stone that was completely off the ground, which was rare for hundreds of years, and then looking at the figure that was bursting with terrifying power. They had an illusion that this strong shock was no less than an ant slaughtering a dragon!
Then, Ye Chen slowly put down the golden stone in the dead silence. Sweat dripped down his forehead. The weight of this golden stone must be 50,000 kg! Even with his strength, it was a bit difficult to lift it.
Ye Chen withdrew his arm and without looking at the dazed boy beside him, he turned and walked towards the Huang Shan father and son who were both astonished. Even Huang Lu, who was immersed in his own sadness, was frightened by Ye Chen's actions.
They didn't even dare to think about lifting it. It was just a rumor from their ancestors that a strong man from the Inner Sea Temple once lifted the golden stone casually like straw when he came to the island to select candidates for the God War. Therefore, the status of the Inner Sea Temple was extremely high in the eyes of the villagers.
"Let's go!" Ye Chen patted Huang Shan's arm.
Huang Shan came back to his senses, looked at Ye Chen in shock, and said, "How is it possible? How strong are you to actually be able to lift the sacred stone?"
Ye Chen said casually: "He has the strength of the sixth level."
Huang Shan burst into tears. This was not the sixth level of strength, but probably the tenth level! With this strength, I am afraid that no one on the entire island can match it except the elders.
Wow!
There was a sudden uproar all around, everyone was talking excitedly, looking at Ye Chen with shock and disbelief in their eyes.
Huang Shan gradually came back to his senses, looking a little excited, and said: "Let's go and test your speed first, and see what level of warrior you are!"
Strength alone does not mean anything, just like a blacksmith who is very strong but moves slowly and clumsily in a fight, which makes him useless.
Ye Chen nodded, and the three of them turned and left. Huang Lu turned around to look at the beautiful figure next to the stone, his eyes a little dim, then he bit his lip and turned to leave.
"Stop!" A cold voice came from behind, coming from the young man's mouth. Although he tried his best to suppress it, everyone still heard a hint of anger in the voice: "I want to challenge you!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Ye Chen and the other three who were about to leave. Huang Shan turned around in surprise. Beside him, when Huang Lu turned around, the sadness in his eyes turned into anger. He stared at the young man with his fists clenched until they made a crackling sound.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Chen's back.
After a moment, Ye Chen slowly turned around, his eyes calm, glanced at the young man, and uttered two words: "Childish!" Then, he turned around and led the way.
The whole audience was stunned.
childish?
How dare you call a sixth-level warrior childish?
The young man was also stunned for a moment, and then he became furious and said: "You coward, you dare not accept my challenge! You are not a man!!"
"Shut up! Huang Zheng!" Huang Lu suddenly exploded in anger and shouted loudly. With the strength of a fourth-level warrior, his voice shook the whole audience and made the unsuspecting young Huang Zheng tremble with fear.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Huang Zheng felt humiliated and furious, and said, "Get lost, you are a level 4 warrior, you have no right to talk to me!"
Huang Lu glanced at the beautiful girl next to him, his anger grew even stronger. He then gritted his teeth and said word by word: "In three months, I will definitely defeat you. I accept this challenge!"
Huang Zheng raised his eyebrows and sneered, "You accept it? If I remember correctly, your assessment stage is only the fourth level, right? Do you think you can reach the sixth level in just three months?"
Huang Lu clenched his teeth, perhaps too hard, his gums were bleeding, and he looked a bit ferocious. "If I fail, I will kill myself on the spot!"
Everyone in the audience was shocked and moved.
Although duels often occur in the village, it is a local custom and is very common. Everyone advocates the use of force. However, when it comes to suicide, it is a bit too serious. It is a life-and-death duel and is usually only done to avenge the murder of one's father!
Two levels in three months?
Everyone looked at Huang Lu helplessly, wondering what had possessed this kid to make him say such outrageous words. Even a fool knew that to improve one's combat power by one level, a person with poor aptitude would need at least four or five years to succeed, and a person with good aptitude would also need one or two years of training!
In just three months, there is still a 1% chance of advancing to the first level, but to the second level, it is totally impossible!
Huang Lu looked at the eyes around him, as if he understood something. A strong sense of humiliation filled his chest, like a wild fire, almost burning his whole body. He looked at the beautiful figure next to him, his face was much paler, and perhaps he clenched his fist too hard, causing his nails to dig deep into his palm, because even on her face, there was a look of surprise...
Finally, he bit his lip and lowered his head silently.
Deep in his heart, he felt a great sadness, because he found that even he himself thought he couldn't do it...
Huang Shan patted his son on the shoulder and said softly, "You have done very well. Let's go."
Huang Lu turned around silently and followed Ye Chen away, never looking back...
Huang Zheng looked at Ye Chen and Huang Lu's backs with anger on his face, his heart filled with rage, "Asshole, next time we meet, I will make sure you know how stupid it is to look down on a sixth-level expert!!"
After a small disturbance, the people around lost interest and left one after another.
Huang Zheng tilted his head to look at the girl beside him and sneered, "The bragging guy just now, is he the idiot who confessed to you yesterday?"
The beautiful girl nodded, frowned slightly, and pouted, "I thought he was quite honest before, but I didn't expect him to be such a person. How rude."
Huang Zheng raised his head slightly and said, "Let's go. Don't bother with this idiot anymore. No one who is too ambitious will end up with a good result. I think he is too overwhelmed by his achievements. He thinks that it is amazing to reach the fourth-level warrior at his current age, so his self-confidence is inflated!"
"Yeah!" The girl nodded in agreement and said, "Let's go!"
Immediately, the two men turned around and left. They had already shown off by coming from Donniu Village to Gaopo Village. The only unpleasant thing was that they were suddenly interrupted by an outsider, which dampened their prestige.
…
On the other side, Ye Chen and three others came to the outside of the village, into a jungle.
"I know an area where the thorn dog beasts often move around." Huang Shan was experienced and took Ye Chen along the mountain road, while Huang Lu followed silently behind.
Not long after, they came to a meadow. Huang Shan suddenly crawled down and pushed aside the weeds on the ground. He saw a small "Y"-shaped footprint. He touched the footprint, felt the thickness of the soil, and said solemnly, "There may be a fifth-level or sixth-level thorn dog beast passing by here!"
"Yes." Ye Chen nodded, "Lead the way."
Huang Shan glanced at him. Based on his previous performance, his confidence in Ye Chen increased a lot. Then the group moved forward, and soon they came to a meadow.
The crowd was lying on the lawn far away. In the distance, there was a monster with sharp thorns all over its body. It was about the size of an ordinary tiger and looked extremely aggressive.
